Guild Wars 2

Stephen ClarkeWillson.1802:

ALSO! It will be very helpful if you can post error codes when you are disconnected. When the error message is on your display you can press control-c and it will copy the error to the clipboard which makes it easy to paste in here. I just created the error below by force-closing my connection to the game server with a utility program and then copy/pasted the error here:

The game client lost its connection to the server. Please wait a few minutes before restarting the client and trying again. (Code=7:11:3:191:101)

That is the exact error I got on reset this week. I was trying to cast a static field in BGBL garrison and it didn’t happen, so I tried again and after a few seconds of not working I decided to try autoattacking a bit (which also didn’t work) and eventually I got booted to the character select screen with that error code. I went straight back to BGBL and was eventually booted out again later that night with the same error code. This problem has only happened to me on BGBL, every other BL is fine. There doesn’t really need to be a zergfight on BGBL to notice this problem either. Just run around using your skills and you’ll notice that every once in awhile they do not come out immediately. Those lag spikes are less severe versions of the disconnections.

Not going to read every post since there’s a bunch, so this may have already been suggested.

It would be nice to have a “contagious” condition trap that is applied to players that walk through it and it spreads to nearby players as well. The more players that are near you with the condition the stronger the condition is. Maybe something like 30 players being full power, not saying agony with no resistance strong but something definitely noticeable. You would just have to cleanse it to remove it immediately or wait for it to wear off and eat the damage. But because it is contagious it may be reapplied to you again because a nearby ally still has it.

Its main intention being to break up the unnecessarily large zergs that make the entire borderland lag, hopefully promoting smaller more efficient groups.

Dale Rojo.7485:

Your cheevies looked about the same as mine up until a week ago. I only haven’t done the Merc meta.

About World Ranker, that one was indeed easy as well. Running with a winning zerg could easily net you a few ranking. Also, any toon that doesn’t have WvW exp can level up really easy because getting to Rank 5 takes way less experience. I did that for all my toons, yet didn’t really need it. If you have killed all the yaks and sentries you needed to kill plus taken the towers and camps, then you could have been able to get that Achievement easily. I don’t have experience with any of the lower tier servers, so that may be something that can work against you but shouldn’t still be impossible.

I don’t run with zergs, so getting the rank up achievement was all reliant on me getting kills/taking camps/sentries/etc. by myself. That’s why most roamers don’t even have guard stacks yet. That achievement is really hard to get the real way for somebody who doesn’t zerg. That one was one of those I feel like if I didn’t play as often as I did, I may not have gotten it.

lordkrall.7241:

And yet someone that actually plays WvW more than for just the season one achievements would have done more than enough of those to have completed the meta in the 7 weeks it was possible without even trying.

Actually a purely roaming player, like myself, has to try to complete the meta.

I’ll break it down because I’m bored:
Big Spender: Easy, though I already had a large stockpile of badges, probably still easy for somebody who doesn’t
Camp Crusher: Easy within the 7 week timeframe
Guard Slayer: Much easier than it sounds, doable while doing other achievements
Castles in the Air: tap the door and you’ll get it, way easy @5
The Keep Is the Thing: same thing, really easy within the timeframe @10
Mists Invasion defender: This one seems like a joke, this is a daily
Advanced Mists Invasion Defender: Really easy even as a roamer, 10 kills a day would get you this
World Ranker: Challenging without using laurels, I think I would get about 35 ranks in 7 weeks otherwise
Master of Ruins: Really easy, almost insulting considering how ridiculous dolyaks and sentries are
Sentry Capturer Extraordinaire: Ridiculous but doable, also not fun in any way
No Tower Too High: a little tougher than keeps/castles, even though towers flip more often, it’s just the number of them. Still easy though.
Supplies Severed: No. This one is a no. I’d rather run across the entire map and waypoint back 225 times. Which is the same thing but easier considering you’re guaranteed to get it at least.
Mists Merc Camp Vanquisher: I didn’t even want to try for this one. Getting into EB is already a challenge. I could do this one as a roamer, but it’s really boring and I’d rather not.
Seasonal Mists Defense Restorer: This requires me to pay attention to things being attacked and either waste supply for hours on end or wait for the zerg attacking to be defeated and then repair. Extremely tedious, would rather not.
Demolition Expert: HAHAHAHA, nah

The jumping puzzles were easy, I’m glad they included those otherwise I wouldn’t have completed this I don’t think.

But if I only played 2-3hrs every other night then some of these might’ve been impossible.

SoR also has RMA though I don’t know if they play anymore.

FrownyClown.8402:

What is going to be the catalyst to start this

Beautiful

I’ll make sure to shoot siege at you guys if I see any. I hope you give me a mad post as well.

Blueblob.1726:

My guild got in and we sent our form but no one has been contacted to join in

check your spam folders

afaik they didn’t invite everyone that was accepted, this first wave. There’s a bunch of us that didn’t get in yet.

SplendidDust of AncientSuns.8453:

Edit:
And about dynamics. I mean the current area is a strip of land next to a hill whereas this is a true arena that allows guilds to operate with more fluid movement akin to open field battles in wvw.

Not to mention less of a chance of “Obstructed.” Which the current area definitely has.

Victory.2879:

That the 1v1 arena?

If that is meant for 20vs 20 gvg then it’s a sad joke. I’m not even sure where squishies would position themselves to avoid standing in the opposition’s melee train…

Going by scale, it is larger than the current GvG area… I’m not sure where you get that it is somehow smaller from. I would guesstimate that it is 6000-7000 units, or whatever range is calculated in, across.

morrolan.9608:

Does that look a bit small?

There are actually 2 people standing inside of it to give scale.

JaNordy.6149:

Let us remember those who lost their stealth. RIP.

rofl Rogue Status, that guy never fails to disappoint. We’ve got convos like that with him as well.

Doomdesire.9365:

Just curious, numbers wise, what do people consider a small, medium, large, or huge roster?

For example

10 – small
50 – medium
100- large
500+ – huge

Depends on how active those players are/whether or not they kick players. A guild could have 50 members but still only field maybe 5 a day. I wouldn’t consider that guild medium sized.

I don’t really consider oPP a roaming guild. There are some good players in it, but most of the guild just sits on the island with as many people as they can and adds on fights.

Not really my battle as I’m not in oPP, but this seemed relevant.

i love how you assume they’re there to build siege

Where exactly did he say that?

Edit: If any of you want to stop zerging, theres a bunch of us at windmill.

read chat

His name is the same as his account name. That isn’t him. So your “you” is incorrect.

Burl.9567:

Anyone else noticed this whole thread is Mag and BG going back and forth?

Now for the obligatory hashtag so I can look cool.

#hashtagsmakemeboss

SoR who?

Pinko.2076:

AoN was excited to see RIOT or oPP. They are probably sitting there waiting for some more to show up. Type in guild that AoN wants to fight or something.

They are the best 5-10 man group I’ve seen, fought, or run with, so you should indulge them.

oPP was pretty excited as well, but you guys wont separate. oPP cannot field 10 to fight your 10.

Player Character.9467:

Plz stop referring to NOVA and INC as mag “roamers”

I’m not. I’m referring to your group of VR + AoN and pugs. They popped swords first, not the BG zerg that came to see why there was swords.

Player Character.9467:

celeron.3469:

Nice job popping orange swords mag roamers.

#Magmakinswords

again, taking screenshots when it fits your argument. Why didnt you get the one when you popped swords 30mins before that? There was about 15 mag “roamers” vs 10 BG.

That zerg is only there because you cause them.

Nice job popping orange swords mag roamers.

Player Character.9467:

Sorry, what gear set makes superior ballista, superior arrow cart, and cannon fire count as 0dps/0people?

The gearset that makes you not run to your buddies every time you start losing a fight. Also nice job taking a screenshot that will fit your argument, the time our zerg and the SoR zerg rolls past that tower.

Player Character.9467:

You have at least 3 guys on siege in the tower alone.

Oh, sorry, I forgot all of you were berserker. Siege is actually scary to you guys. What a bizarre world you live in.

Player Character.9467:

BG counting: count all enemies regardless of tags, ignore own guys with different tags and multiply number of people from your guild by 2/3.

Wat?

Maguuma in charge of getting a D in math. There was 4 oPP and at max 2-3 non oPP. Please, continue though.

Player Character.9467:

Correction, cannon, ballista, and ac’s not just a cannon. Jesus christ how do you call that roaming?

maguuma roaming: group up with 10 others and chase around a group of 4.

Player Character.9467:

opp: roaming = hump cannons and spam 30 seconds of immo

Aw did I immob the zerger? It will be ok champ

Shunt.6254:

LOL okay “roamer” on Blackgate.

That’s correct, “roamer” on Maguuma.

Shunt.6254:

Oh you’re 30 into unskilled line as well? idk if that’s our problem PPT superhero

Nice try, but I haven’t played for PPT since the first few months of the game. I’m a roamer. Are you going to lecture me on how great your 1 spamming skills are now, zerger?

robocafaz.9017:

Tjizn.5834:

p sure mag would be t1 if only we ran team builds

We need to be putting 30 points into our coverage talent lines.

BG is 30 in all lines, there’s your problem.

FrownyClown.8402:

Long story short. Mag wiped the floor with you guys and you only pushed us with twice as much people. On a side note, anet is stupid for immobilize stacking.

Yeah you guys sure did good, 3 oPP never stood a chance. Looks like you enjoyed my immob, you’re welcome.

CrimsonHandHiro.9574:

Is that also why you instantly release? I keep trying to get my flute out but you all seem in such a rush to give me those bags back and respawn before I can get through the first bar of Taps.

As for numbers, I’ll leave this pic here from an hour ago when we had about 10.

Sorry I didn’t know you were going to play me some music. Maybe you should be like oPP and start doing that while they are in downed state. There’s really no reason to wait around otherwise. I’m the warrior btw, the one your 10-15 man group has only killed about 3 times. I enjoy making glass cannons look silly though. The only people I used to 2 shot were uplevels… seems I need to add maguuma to that list.

Comprissent.3856:

celeron.3469:

Where are the mag roamers at this time? I’m on SoR BL not sure where the guys in front of BG spawn went.

Mag is dead soon as midnight PST rolls around, no roamers or zergs GG

But thats the best time for roaming in T1…

Also that’s when most of the dueling happens, PST midnight till around SEA time.

Where are the mag roamers at this time? I’m on SoR BL not sure where the guys in front of BG spawn went.

Bashido.8694:

Guess I play at different times then all the good Maguma roamers ;P Lots of perplex Maguma roamers that are terrible, I have noticed that. Back pedal more!

I tried to set up some duels at windmill on red map last night, there was a maguuma ele there. Wanted to give those guys a good welcome. Whispered everyone I had on my friendslist that roams, to try and get some people down there. We had an ok amount, but it was mostly BG and SoR.

rmprodigy.4679:

Goodjob Sor and Mag.. really glad to see and hear about another group of skilled guilds and players like those on Mag are laughing and realizing how weak BG is.

This guy ran from BG all the way to silver league.

Boonprot.6274:

JQ warned us that BG was high on themselves, I now see it’s worse than they implied.

Giving up the forum battle already?

Pinko.2076:

That’s impressive, I’ve never seen a thief press 1 on p/d and survive so much. Tell me more of this beefy p/d thief and all of the skill involved.

Watch us play and maybe you’ll pick up some things.

HotPants.5604:

I hope by balanced builds you aren’t referring to the 4 different perplexity Thiefs, 3 different perplexity Engineers, 3 mace/shield stun warriors, and GASP one non-cheese D/D Ele (who beat my bottom, well done) that I have run into the entire day on 3 different BL maps. To be fair and honest, I didn’t check the class makeup of the 8-10 man buhtlust “roaming” groups, I just avoided them.

Judging by your post, I’ll take it you haven’t actually run into any of us. We have 0 perplex thieves afaik, 0 perplex engis (protip: prybar isnt perplexity), and 1 mace/shield warrior. Now if you had said 3 sword/dagger thieves, 2 condi engineers that do not use perplexity, and 3 warriors using gsword… then yeah… We have those.

Snafu.7412:

I fought an oPP thief last night on Mag BL he hit like a wet noodle and then stealthed away. Couldn’t be bothered to chase him. I know all your blobs run PVT gear but do your roamings groups run PVT aswell?

Norn female?

Also no, most of us run a balanced build that isn’t maxdeeps nor tank.

Omnitek.3876:

Cuddle…. Go back to being fun! This srs cuddle is not good.

You’re thinking of Cuddlestrike.

rmprodigy.4679:

@Cuddlepit @Jinx @Opp …. I posted a thread a week ago… throughout the week we have spent hours and hours wiping all kinds of BG…

Not one of you had stepped up and obviously you Cuddlepie who are the most hurt to post anything. Because you couldn’t. Why, cuz those were the first few times you guys got any wipes out on us. Challenge accepted? Why not PM me and call me out, why not step up and ask for the livestream. .. because you know the real truth, the one you mask behind a silly video… you talk about militia beating militia without a core group ….okay fine. Then respond to the 40v70 wipe videos we have, or 25 +3ACs wiping 65 man groups or better yet , the video were still editing of 29DIE running in SM and wiping BG blobs for 53 minutes straight . . . .

You know the truth , and anybody who knows DIE and knows anything would laugh at your fail video. If you don’t know what a guild group is, that already says a lot . If you wait 5 days to accept a challenge after the fact , you’ve already lost. And if you take the time to make a silly video that proves nothing and isn’t based on anything that I posted, then I don’t even want to begin to bother with you.

We can xfer back in a week , KnT , Jinx , OpP ….GvG or Open Field us with live stream for a full 2-4hour night like I had said.

You need to learn how to count.

Try watching Agg’s video for how you would properly do this.

Can BG contract dragon to write us a post about how we made SoR guilds leave the server or quit playing?

dragon.8071:

yes. you guys are good at that. we, sor outmanned but we fight hard. we made rg retire early. we made gd leave server. we made prx retire early and the good ones comes over to us. we made wm not want to do wvw. we dominate most of the top guilds. can’t you see the pattern? you fight against sor, you will end up quitting soon. resistance is futile. come over to sor and feel our power.

You know, something like that.

Burl.9567:

I’d just like to thank BG for my 45 second queue during NA prime last night. The guild has been loving the short queues compared to the last couple of weeks.

We do it all for u bb

Its da 5-0! BAIL BAIL BAIL

The man is trying to keep us down but we at oPP will never give up. This is the type of oppression we see daily! But this is exactly why we will fight harder for you! Our supporters!

Prophet.1038:

Monday is considered a weekday.

Unless he made the same exact post 2 days in a row, I saw this on Sunday.

Shifty.4985:

celeron.3469:

Anybody have that post from the last thread, where some SoR was saying something like “maybe we should stop logging in and avoid ZDs so they go back to EU”?

That was me saying it as a joke but why? Did it actually work? :o

I thought it was you, I wasn’t sure, was way too hard to find in that thread. Idk if you guys are trying that, you would know better than me, so I can’t answer the second question.

Anybody have that post from the last thread, where some SoR was saying something like “maybe we should stop logging in and avoid ZDs so they go back to EU”?

Traejan.1729:

Yeah that IRON guy deleted his post -

But here’s the attachment

bye shifty

KeeZee.7312:

Give up on facts……the BG way.

Hey, why haven’t you mentioned SoS? They still have a very good record vs SoR and JQ. That server is obviously stacked I mean look at the history.

KeeZee.7312:

Your question has been answered and your posts seem to say that yes BG did pay for another guild contrary to all the posts denying it.

You may want to stop posting now.

It was answered? Where’s that? Did you answer that?
